How It Works
Traditional single-source plant proteins often lack a balanced essential amino acid profile. Optimum Nutrition solves this by pairing complementary plant sources—pea, brown rice, and sacha inchi—to create a complete protein with high bio-availability.
This fast-digesting formula rapidly shuttles vital amino acids and BCAAs to tired muscle tissue following exertion, halting muscle breakdown and accelerating tissue repair. Sweetened naturally with stevia, it offers a smooth, rich texture and delicious taste without relying on artificial additives or extra sugars, making it gentle on digestion while satisfying high daily protein demands.
Recommended Use
Mix 1 level scoop (approx. 36g) with 300ml of cold water, plant-based milk (such as almond or oat milk), or your favourite smoothie blend. Shake or blend for 30 seconds until fully dissolved. Consume within 30 to 60 minutes post-workout for optimal recovery, or anytime during the day to boost your daily plant-based protein intake.

Extremely sweet!! I have to mix with cocoa nibbles and cocoa in natura to drink it and yet still too sweet for me. I won’t buy ever again.

I like the taste! Smoothies or straight protein shake, but I recommend that either or need to be blended. Nice with almond milk.
